Chapter 381: Coming Out of Seclusion on Cloud Island

Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem

The servant class people of the Cloud Island provided Li Yunmu with the best wooden house available.

Each one of them was extremely grateful for his sincere good will. Although the goods taken out by Li Yunmu—which included the food and essentials used by ordinary people—weren’t worth much in his eyes, it was like New Years for the ten or so households living in that place.

They could fill their bellies for several months with those goods while also greatly replenishing their essential needs. Li Yunmu had also given them some medicine, which made them grateful to the point that tears started flowing down their eyes. His action was akin to giving them new life.

It had to be known that they couldn’t even set sail, let alone purchase medicine.

If any of them fell ill, their fate would be entirely in their own hands. This was the life of the servant class people of the Origin World. Although the world was extremely vast, there was no place where such people could seek shelter for themselves. Compared to the people living in the slums on Earth, their fate was even more miserable.

At least there was no slavery on Earth. Besides that, the taxes levied by the continents on Earth weren’t as exorbitant as those in the Origin World. More than half of civilians’ earnings would be used to pay the taxes, which could easily describe the administrative system of the Origin World.

Although Zheng Quan and his group had set sail a day earlier than Li Yunmu, it would take them at least ten days to reach the island, given the cruise’s speed, if their trip went without a hitch.

Naturally, if the situation turned adverse, like if they encountered some nasty weather or an attack from a sea beast, they may be delayed for another ten or fifteen days.

Knowing that, Li Yunmu naturally wouldn’t wait for them without doing anything.

Availing himself of the time, Li Yunmu entered his consciousness sea where his gaze fell upon the large amount of experience points.

It was fine when he didn’t know about it, but once he saw it, he was stunned. The amount of marine life in the oceans of the Origin World was virtually inexhaustible. It had been a while since Li Yunmu had checked on his experience points, and the amount had already soared to more than thirty-one million.

This was more than enough to acquire the eleventh shadow.

Li Yunmu immediately congealed it without any hesitation. It also happened to solve the problem of no shadow following him at this time.

Once the eleventh shadow was congealed, Li Yunmu commanded it to guard the outside and not allow anyone to discover the coordinates of his heavenly world. After that, he entered that place.

He then continued with soaking in the medicinal bath while rotating the Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Method, while on his free time, he continued refining more power grains using his a cauldron.

He truly felt that possessing a personal heavenly world was a great blessing.

Its only weak point was the coordinates required to enter it. As long as the owner entered his heavenly world, the coordinates would be exposed to the world.

If someone outside discovered them, they could easily enter Li Yunmu’s heavenly world, provided that there was no one guarding the location outside.

If it was an ordinary person who discovered it, then it wouldn’t matter. Even if someone like that entered the heavenly world, then given that within the heavenly world Li Yunmu could utilize ten times more world power compared to the outside, he was basically like a god who could deal with anything.

After all, when possessing ten times more world power and his personal strength as foundation, he could easily deal with enemies who were several times more powerful than him.

But if the person entering was a sage flux expert, Li Yunmu’s fate would be tragic.

With the enormous difference between their strengths, even if he could utilize ten times more world power, Li Yunmu, who was the so called god of his world, would be killed in that same world of his own.

Thus, there was no absolute rule in this world, or as system has said repeatedly, only absolute power was an eternal truth. Only absolute strength could destroy all restrictions.

That was the reason why fluxers with lower cultivation on Earth would keep it a secret that they possessed a heavenly world. Until their strength increased enough, or before their heavenly world congealed five suns, no one would take the initiative to make the news of their heavenly world public.

Otherwise, if people set their gazes on them, it wouldn’t end well. It was highly possible that with the right coordinates, powerful people would intrude in the other’s heavenly world to kill them and seize their world.

As long as the world master perished within the world and the attacker was also inside, it was highly possible that the attacker could snatch it before the heavenly world collapsed after the master’s death.

Given that reason, Li Yunmu was extremely cautious when he entered his heavenly world. Every time, he would use one of the shadows to guard the location. If something happened, he would at least be alerted and could come out immediately, making sure that the entrance coordinates were concealed again.

The shadow may not be able to obstruct a powerful enemy, but it could serve the purpose of alerting Li Yunmu. Just that little use was enough of a reason for him to use such a tactic.

The eleventh shadow had by then transformed into a real shadow and blended with the darkness under the roof. With its innate characteristic, even a deity wouldn’t be able to discover its existence until it moved.

Li Yunmu was quite relieved because of that fact. For the following twelve days, he remained in seclusion in his heavenly world. Every day, he would practice Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique. He would soak in the medicinal bath three times a day and would take five meals of extreme grade power grain. His daily intake of food was comparatively enormous.

Until the twelfth day, the amount of power grain he ate had increased from severals tens per day to more than a hundred grain.

Such an enormous intake was naturally related to Meridian Nurturing Flux Point Technique and Great Sun Thunder Tyrant Body Muscle Marrow Secrets.

Even without using the system to scan himself, Li Yunmu could feel that his body was becoming increasingly more formidable. He felt as if he was an unstoppable machine with endless power and the ability to destroy celestial bodies with one punch.

[Host, the appointed time has come. Allow me to remind you that it is already the twelfth day,] the system reminded him.

"Oh, the twelfth day has arrived so quickly?"

Everyone said that there was never enough time to cultivate, and Li Yunmu felt the same, after having thrown all of himself into cultivation.

The past ten days had passed in a blink of an eye for him.

[Yes.]

Li Yunmu opened his eyes and asked, "Is Zheng Quan already here?"

[According to the data from the eleventh shadow, there has been no change in the lives of the people on the island,] the system replied.
